Full Chimney Inspection / Party Wall Report

An in depth inspection and report for disputes, insurance claims and shared chimney stacks.

Shared stacks on terraces and semis cause more arguments than almost anything else in a chimney. Smoke in a neighbour's bedroom, damp on a party wall or a stack that is leaning all need an independent, documented inspection.

Rob carries out a full inspection using CCTV, smoke testing and an external survey of the stack, and writes it up as a clear report suitable for insurers, surveyors, solicitors and party wall discussions.

What is included

  • CCTV inspection of the flue or flues in question
  • Smoke test to trace leaks between flues or into neighbouring rooms
  • Pressure test where a flue needs to be proven gas tight
  • External survey of the stack, pointing, flaunching and terminal
  • Internal inspection of chimney breast, register plate and appliance
  • Written report with photographs, findings and recommended actions

Who it is for

  • Neighbours experiencing smoke or fumes from an adjoining property
  • Insurance claims involving chimney fires, leaks or storm damage
  • Surveyors and solicitors who need expert evidence on a shared stack

FAQs

Full Inspection Report questions

Yes, with both owners' agreement. Testing both flues at once is the quickest way to prove where a problem is coming from.
